Fox News’ John Gibson mocked the death of actor Heath Ledger by opening his radio show with funeral music. Gibson called Ledger a “weirdo” who had a “serious drug problem.”

He then played a clip out of Ledger’s movie ‘Brokeback Mountain’ where the actor says “I wish I knew how to quit you.” Gibson mockingly said “Well, he found out how to quit you.”

Gibson played another clip from the film where Ledger said, “We’re dead” before repeating the quote himself. Throughout the rest of his segment Gibson continued making fun of Ledger and at one point joked the 28-year-old may have been suicidal over the presidential debate.

“Apparently Heath Ledger was suicidal and his friends saw it coming. I think he watched the Clinton-Obama debate last night. I think he was an Edwards guy, cause he saw his Edwards guy was completely irreverent,” he said.

Opening his radio show with funeral music yesterday, Fox News host John Gibson callously mocked the death of actor Heath Ledger, calling him a “weirdo” with a “serious drug problem.”

Playing an audio clip of the iconic quote, “I wish I knew how to quit you” from Ledger’s gay romance movie Brokeback Mountain, Gibson disdainfully quipped, “Well, he found out how to quit you.” Laughing, Gibson then played another clip from Brokeback Mountain in which Ledger said, “We’re dead,” followed by his own, mocking “We’re dead” before playing the clip again.

The late Heath Ledger. Who would have thought we'd be muttering those awful words about this powerhouse Aussie actor at 28?

With the dust from Brad Renfro's death barely settled (the 25-year-old actor died on Jan. 15), the tragic news of Ledger's death shot around the world late Tuesday aftenoon. With it came a deluge of entertaiment "authorities" hitting the airwaves, the lot of them spouting their possible theories about Ledger's death.

Heath was addicted to sleeping pills said some. He was depressed about his breakup with Michelle Williams said others. One longtime showbiz reporter even spewed out the theory that Hollywood and it's many pressures doesn't kill people. It's those deep, longtime issues Ledger bore about his parent's divorce that probably influenced this "situation."

NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities said the autopsy on Heath Ledger was inconclusive and that it would take about 10 days to determine a definitive cause of death for the "Brokeback Mountain" actor, whose fans remembered him Wednesday by leaving flowers and candles outside his Manhattan apartment.

The Australian-born actor was found dead Tuesday by his housekeeper and a massage therapist — lying naked and face-down on the floor at the foot of his bed, police said.

Prescription sleeping pills and anti-anxiety pills were found in bottles in Ledger's bedroom and bathroom. Police said the death was caused by a possible drug overdose and appeared to be accidental.

Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office, said the autopsy on the 28-year-old actor was inconclusive and that more would be known after more thorough tests can be completed.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Relatives of Heath Ledger are expected to arrive from Australia on Friday in preparation for his funeral, a funeral home spokesman said.Ledger's body was taken to the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan Wednesday, the mortuary confirmed to CNN.

A private viewing will take place Friday, The Associated Press reported.

The funeral arrangements have not been made public.

The 28-year-old actor, star of "Brokeback Mountain" and the upcoming "Dark Knight," died Tuesday afternoon.

An autopsy Wednesday morning was inconclusive, and a cause-of-death determination will take 10 to 14 days, a medical examiner's spokeswoman said.

"There were no illegal drugs found" in the apartment, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Wednesday.
